Soft Opening Preparations
With less than 72 hours remaining until Soft Opening presentations begin, the team is making its final preparations to demonstrate the product and experience that have been developed this semester.
The Machine is functional and is being fine-tuned; users can add Gears and submit stories of the good deeds they wish to commemorate.
The focus in these final days is devising a clear presentation of the experience to convey the actions of a participant and the manner in which newcomers may access the experience.
1. A kindworks player performs, receives, or witnesses a good deed.
2. The player posts a Gear Tag in the world to celebrate the good deed.
3. The player signs on to the kindworks site, adds a electronic Gear to the Machine, and writes about the good deed.
4. Someone finds the posted Gear Tag and learns about kindworks.
5. The newcomer is inspired by all of the other good deeds.
6. The newcomer decides to register with kindworks to get involved.
7. The new player prints out his own Gear Tags and is ready to go!
The project room is being populated with diagrams and illustrations of the play flow, answers to frequently asked questions, and demonstrations of visual iteration throughout the process.
